I think we have got out shortlist down to four for girls (middle name undecided) - comments welcome. I think they are all lovely but can't work out which one is the one. Of course we could end up having a boy - we've not found out.

Anna
Clemency
Frances
Sophie

Anna- lovely and classic
Clemency- don't like this
Frances- has always seemed more masculine to me but I do like Francesca
Sophie- gorgeous, very popular if that bothers you

I wouldn't choose one now. I had a shortlist of about 4 names that I liked and then waited to see which one suited. As it was, by the time DD was born she didn't fit any of those names so we went with a different one from the long list!
All of your names are lovely - Clemency is probably my favourite, mostly because it is both pretty and unusual, and I think Frances is another lovely but not overly used name. Sophie and Anna are both classic girls names, but much more commonly used.

I would have to disagree with the PP! I would say in order of preference:

Sophie
Anna
Frances
Clemency

Frances is great.

Then Clemency

Sophie and Anna are beyond dull.
